Method Detail

retrieveInputStream

public java.io.InputStream retrieveInputStream()
                                        throws java.io.IOException

An InputStream for the endpoint. Note that calling this method must be called before the init() method on the endpoint and causes the message listener interface for the endpoint to be premantly disabled.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

retrieveOutputStream

public java.io.OutputStream retrieveOutputStream()
                                          throws java.io.IOException

An OutputStream for the endpoint. Unlike retrieveInputStream this does not disable the message listener interface, however it can be used to bypass this interface.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
